Equipment selection
What is in this chapter?
Introduction
Selecting the right unit for the right application can prevent a lot of problems.
In this chapter we would like to introduce you to information which will help
you select the correct unit. However, even with the right unit, there will still
be some points of attention, which will have to be taken into account.

2.1.1 Non inverters
Introduction
You should select a unit by comparing the (maximum possible) heat load of a
room to the nominal capacity of a unit.
If your heat load is much larger than your nominal capacity, you will have
capacity shortage complaints.
If your heat load is much smaller than the nominal capacity, your unit will
switch on/off a lot, which has a negative effect on the lifetime of a unit.

2.1.2 Inverters (DC inverter)
Introduction
When selecting an inverter controlled A/C unit, it is of the up most
importance to select a unit with a nominal capacity as close as possible to the
heat load of the room. When selecting a unit, which is too small, the
compressor will operate continuously on its maximum frequency like a non
inverter. If you select a unit that has too much capacity, the minimum
frequency of the compressor can still generate too much capacity and switch
the compressor on/off like a non inverter. You can see that in both these
cases an inverter has no added value compared to a non inverter which is a lot
cheaper.
Minimum
capacity
When the unit is in thermostat ON, there is a minimum compressor frequency
and a minimum expansion valve opening. If the required capacity is below
the minimum capacity of the compressor, the unit will switch ON-OFF.
Maximum
capacity
When a unit runs at its maximum frequency and the expansion valve is
opened to the maximum the unit will give its maximum capacity. (For the
mentioned indoor/outdoor and accordingly to the installation conditions.)
However it is very important that you realize that this will not always be
the case, even when the capacity demand is high. The unit is controlled by
a micro-controller and the micro-controller will take all factors into account
(capacity demand, safeties, efficiency, sensors, etc. …) and then decide the
best frequency. If you combine this together with piping length losses, it is
very likely that when you select a unit on the maximum capacity you will
have complaints of capacity shortage.

2.1.3 Correction factors
Correction factors
When the piping exceeds a certain length, a correction factor has to be
multiplied with the rated capacity.
The cooling and the heating capacity of the unit have to be corrected in
accordance with the length of the refrigerant piping. (The distance between
the indoor unit and the outdoor unit)

2.1.4 Capacity tables
Introduction
For the Multi outdoor units, when your connection ratio goes above 100%,
the minimum, nominal and maximum capacities will lower (only when the
capacity demand of the indoor units is greater than the outdoor unit can
deliver). What your minimum, nominal and maximum capacity will be when
this happens, you can read out on the capacity tables. (Engineering Databook)
The maximum allowed connection ratios are

For the C/O units, there’s an additional function programmed that will limit
the operation of units when you connect more than the allowed capacity.
When an indoor unit is switched on, over sizing the allowed operational
capacity of a C/O multi, the last unit which is turned ON will go into stand-by
mode (slowly blinking indoor operation LED). It will only resume operation
once operation in the other rooms (or one room) has stopped.
This function has been added to prevent the compressor from overheating
(overload clixon).

recommended
It is important to select an air conditioner,
which is quiet and does not blow (draft)
directly onto the occupants.
Install the unit so it blows into the length
of the room.
Install separate units to blow air through
the room.
Install separate units to prevent air
accumulation in one place.
This type of unit allows great air
circulation in cooling, this due to its high
position. This position is however a
disadvantage for heating, as heat rises,
stratification is possible.
This type of unit is more suitable for
heating applications than cooling
applications. Since hot air rises there are
few temperature differences between
heights.
This type of unit can be put in a central
position in the room, allowing a good air
circulation.

Additional comments on installation specifications
Installation
Manual
Additional refrigerant is necessary when the piping exceeds a certain
length. For the multi units however you don’t need to add any
refrigerant for C/O units.
Explanation
The evaporator regulates the superheat (SH), the larger your evaporating
capability (fan speed, size heat exchanger, heat exchanging capability) the
larger your SH will be.
The condenser regulates your subcool (SC), which is needed for the
expansion valve to work properly.
In cooling the evaporator is the indoor coil and the condenser the outdoor
coil. This changes when the unit is in heating, so the sizes of the H/E can
change.
In heating on small loads the unit will have a small SC (low condensing
capability). When refrigerant is added the SC goes up. Adding refrigerant
also means that the SH will go down but in heating there’s a large evaporator
which can handle this surplus of refrigerant.
Installation
Manual
Always connect at least 2 rooms to a Multi.
Explanation
(Strictly speaking, for heat pump models only.)
If you connect only 1 indoor unit you will have compressor damage due to the
following reasons:
1. Abnormal high pressure
Surplus refrigerant is accumulated in the indoor unit during heating operation,
at that point, the heat exchanger thermistor is in sub cooling area and it can
not sense the saturated temperature. Therefore the safety (peak cut operation)
can not function leaving the unit prone to high pressures.
However, surplus refrigerant is accumulated in the non operating unit whilst
one unit is operating in a two unit connection in heating mode.
2. Poor lubrication by refrigerant oil
When you connect only 1 indoor unit to a multi, surplus refrigerant is
accumulated in the indoor unit or accumulator. In case the refrigerant is
accumulated in the accumulator, you’ll have wet operation and poor
lubrication and this will lead to compressor damage.
